Frequently Asked Questions

I’ve compiled a list of the most frequent questions that I have received over my career. It’s normal and encouraged for you to ask many questions when choosing to work with a therapist. Here are some answers to the questions I receive the most. If you can’t find what you are looking for, please reach out.

Do you offer sliding scale rates?

I offer sliding scale rates based on availability. I understand that therapy is expensive and can take a financial toll. I will do my best to work with you based on availability.

How long does each therapy session take?

Sessions are 50 minutes long. However, I often recommend extended sessions for family sessions. We can adjust as needed based on your needs.

Do you take insurance?

I am not in-network with any insurance companies, however, I can provide you with a form (superbill) that you can send to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

​

The cost of services depends on a number of factors including your provider’s fee, frequency of services, and duration of treatment. You can receive an estimate of service costs as described below.

​

As of January 1, 2022, under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.

​

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

​

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

  • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

  • Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

  • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

  • Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.

Do you provide online therapy services (telehealth)?

Yes! I am able to provide telehealth services to clients in the state of CA. I use a HIPAA compliant video platform. We can discuss your needs and decide if this would be the appropriate platform for you.
